You can use the Known Access Points screen to determine the number of access points in a wireless AP network; however, keep in mind that the screen also lists access points that are connected to the same Ethernet as the root access point but may not be part of the wireless AP operation. Figure 3-3 is an example of a Known Access Points screen listing the root access point and the two designated WLAPs. This example screen includes another access point connected to the same Ethernet as the root access point but not in the wireless AP network.

Viewing the Known Access Points Screen
The Known Access Points screen lists all access points that are linked together either through a
wireless connection or through a wired connection. You can use the Known Access Points screen to
determine the number of access points in a wireless AP network; however, keep in mind that the
screen also lists access points that are connected to the same Ethernet as the root access point but
may not be part of the wireless AP operation.
Figure 3-3 is an example of a Known Access Points screen listing the root access point and the two
designated WLAPs. This example screen includes another access point connected to the same
Ethernet as the root access point but not in the wireless AP network.
